Lets take a look at Bobby Fischer’s road to the title.
2)
In the
1971
quarterfinal candidate Bobby won 6 games to
defeat Mark Taimanov
by a score of 6-0. This was unprecedented in chess history. I
equate it to Don Larsen’s perfect game no hitter in the world series in
1954.
3)
In the 1971 semifinal candidate match Bobby repeated the feat by winning
6 games to defeat
Bent Larsen
by a score of 6-0. Bobby string of defeating
18 GM is a row is equivalent to White ford pitching 30 scoreless innings
in a world series.
4)
In the 1971 candidate final match Bobby won 4 games to defeat ex world
champion Tigran Petrosian by a score of 6.5- 2.5.
5)
In the
1972
world championship match, Bobby Fischer won 7 games to
become the 11th world champion by defeating Boris Spassky the
10th world Champion, by a score of 12.5 - 8.5.
Bobby won 38 games against the best in the world to gain his
title.
